A New Phase To The Journey

Good Morning All Of Out Blog Friends.....Today is Thursday, May 10, 2012.  My dad would have been 98 years old today.  I think Janelle has probably already told him Happy Birthday....

Janelle passed away to her final destination (Heaven) a few hours ago.  It became apparent to me in the middle of the night that we were getting close.  Ian arrived around 9:00, Britt got here about 11:30, we held Janelle's hand, told her we loved her, told her we would be OK and told her she could go.  She did shortly there after.  No final gasping for air, no apparent pain, just left.

I do not have any details at this time so I will plan to be back in the next couple of days and share more specifics on what the days ahead will be.

Please know, that we are OK, Janelle is definitely OK and we rejoice for her......

Talk to you soon.....

Ken, Britt/Kenneth & Ian
